In a statement by an official of the Gujarat Forensic Science University (GFSU) to the CBI court the official said that the crime was probably committed using a 'golf stick and a surgical knife'. He further said that 'no outsider except the Talwars were involved in the murder'.

While the injury on their heads was that of something like a golf club, the neck wounds were inflicted using a sharp-edged thing like a surgical knife, GFSU Director Mohendra Singh Dahiya told the court.

"I don't know who was attacked first, but they were certainly killed on Aarushi's bed. A golf club, or any similar thing like a hockey stick, was used for the murder, after which their throats were slit using some sharp-edged thing like a surgical knife," he told the court.

14-year-old Aarushi was found dead at her Noida residence on May 16, 2008. A day later, their domestic help Hemraj's body was also found in the terrace of their house. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), in its closure report, said that Aarushi's parents were the one and only suspects in the double murder case. While her father succeeded to get bail, her mother remains in Dasna jail in Gurgaon. She was sent to jail on Apr 30, 2011.
